First, I think macro pager \er "| tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M | less" is better with the " at the end. Second on AIX 2.3.5 I had to change this to macro pager \er "| /usr/ucb/tr -A 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M' | less" The BSD tr seems better than the AIX tr (in /usr/bin). Without the ASCII -A flag it did not quite work in a way I did not understand. It did not translate m and LM. Third, a problem. If the message is rot13 coded and the headers are not, this macro of course rot13 codes the header and decodes the message. Is there a way to only pipe the message without the headers to tr? Of course I guess one could sed out everything up to a blank line, but I am thinking of something simpler.
